The BA in Communication and Media offers students the opportunity to pursue coursework in communication and media that draws upon two or more related areas of study. This degree will provide flexibility for transfer students and others who have not determined their precise career trajectory, while affording them the fundamental communication and critical thinking skills needed to enter jobs across the public, private and non-profit sectors, or to continue their education in academic or professional post-graduate programs. This is the only ‘new’ program being proposed in this undergraduate curriculum revision, and results from the recognition that the last curriculum revision adopted by the Department of Communication met the needs of students calling for increased curricular specialization, at the expense of those students wishing to pursue an interdisciplinary program of studies. This major is designed especially for those students holding allied field interests, as well as those who would like to complete a communication degree, by taking mostly evening courses. In order to complete this degree, College of Communication students have the option of pursuing coursework from any of the four other majors offered.
